Monday Listicles

Listicles time!

Last week we talked about jobs we had. I cannot believe how many of us at some point in our lives bothered people over the phone to make a living. I really enjoyed reading your lists and getting to know you a little better. Thank you big time Squashed Mom for choosing a wicked topic!

This week Greta suggested we confess ten things we said we would NEVER do but caught ourselves doing it. Easy peasy, right? I have eaten many words since becoming a mother, but I have a funny feeling this is just a beginning…

For next week’s listicles, my ‘neighbor’ Ally will be choosing the topic. Which I am very excited about. I have followed Two normal moms blog since forever. Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to find her list among the ones linked up this week and see what she wants us to write about. Ally is lovely, funny and well normal. And I am sure you all know her fabulousness!

Twitter: chicktuitionI thought your list would be much more scandalous…I guess you’re saving that stuff for your interview. I think I’ve done everything you mentioned. And I might do them again.jacqui recently posted..The Last Thing I Want To Do…

Twitter: chicktuitionReally? I assumed with your photography business…and horses…and giant dog…and Little J…you’d be all booked up. This is very exciting news!jacqui recently posted..The Last Thing I Want To Do…

Ohhh those kids. They make ya do things you swore you’d never do and by the time you realize you are doing them it’s too late, it’s already a habit.Danielle recently posted..Monday Listicles: Never say Never

Hey, sniffing a bum is not as bad as sticking a finger down a diaper to check. So, I’ll leave my very short list in the comments: 1) I’ll never dye my hair. Actually I’m still going strong on this one so it doesn’t count. 2)When I’m a grownup and I have my own house, I’m never going to clean the toilets because I’ll hire someone to do it for me. HA! So glad my mom doesn’t rub this one in my face.[email protected] recently posted..Un-meme: Ups and Downs

Twitter: justramblinOh how often I catch myself thinking, “I swore I would never say that!” or, “I promised myself I would never do that!”. Funny how as we age, we end up doing some of those very things. Great post. I enjoy your blog tremendously. : )Just Ramblin’ recently posted..When Unsure

Twitter: roryboreAll good ones. It used to drive me crazy hearing mothers/daddy referring to themselves as “mommy” “daddy” all the time when speaking to their children. As in, “mommy wants you to sit at the table and eat your food.” “Daddy says put your toys away” (okay, perhaps bad example). But now, of course I do it – constantly. And really: how else should I refer to myself? They didn’t know we even had first names for the first few years. And if I use daddy’s first name: they inevitably go around calling him that, instead of daddy, for days.
Although, I love it when they do call him by my blog nickname for him: Left Brain.RoryBore recently posted..Coffee Chat Sneak Peek & Page Construction

Twitter: NorthWestMommyI have no explanation. And obviously if we wanted to eat that for breakfast we would have made it for ourselves, right? But I catch myself doing it all the time. And I don’t even like waffles…

Twitter: JenAnnHallHeehee, sniffing a bum….oh so funny! How can you know, before you have a baby, that you kinda have to do that? And supersizeing your order? Is that a reference to your venti coffees, or actual food? 😉Just Jennifer recently posted..The Things You Think You Know

I have done the most of these!:) I know what you are writing about, I’never thought that I would do these things, but a mommy is sometimes more than only human. Sounding like the grandma could be a good thing, I think:) Our grannies were so sweet and clever. I wish I could be like my grandma.Catwoman recently posted..fogfehérítés

Yes! I could totally relate to smelling a bum to check whether it’s time for a diaper change. I wouldn’t have dreamed I’d be capable of doing such a thing. 😉Sweaty recently posted..Flavor (and Best Scoop of the Week!)

Twitter: teamraslerNumber 10! I *swore* I’d never do that. But… then it happened. I finally broke the habit, only to start it up again when my 18-month-old looked at me as though pronouns were the most confusing thing in the entire English language. Another year of saying, “Take that out of your mouth and give it to Mama, please.” Sigh.[email protected] Rasler recently posted..I’ll never…

Thanks for hosting the Listicles, Stasha! Giving in and Giving Up are sometimes good things- If they open us up to better possibilities. 🙂 It’s all in how we look at it. For instance, you could “give up sniffing butts” and that would be grand. 🙂critters and crayons recently posted..Monday Listicles: Top 10 “I’ll Never Mom Moments”

Twitter: NorthWestMommyYou are right. It is not as bad as it sounds when you are young and think you are invincible. And funnily enough I never had issues with diapers, but I have somehow selectively erased all memories of them…

Twitter: mannahattamammaWait. You mean mommy-meals come in some other version than “leftover” or “supersize?” Wow. I’m going to have re-think here…breakfast for me is pretty exclusively toast crusts, pancake crumbs, and random orange juice. Mmm mmm good, right?
